2838699 - Error when trying to create a record for a custom MDF Object - ???Saving of 1 [MDF Object] throwed a Exception???

Symptom

When trying to create a record for a custom MDF object, the system is throwing the following error: ???Saving of 1 [MDF Object] throwed a Exception???

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Access Manage Data;
  2. In the Create New dropdown, select the custom MDF object;
  3. Insert the data and try to save;
  4. Receive the error.

Cause

The external code of the custom MDF object or any of its child objects is set as a non-unique data type.

Resolution

The external code needs to be set as a type which will grant the uniqueness of each record of that object.

If you select, for example, Picklist as the data type, there will be a limitation in the number of records that can be created, because it will not be possible to have two records with the same picklist value selected as the external code.
